Over 30 years of retirement, Bankston would collect as much as $1.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Bankston received $29,959 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bankston will have already received $92,601 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
